Fenced in: This portrait has an interesting feature of using the fence to frame the subjects eye. The warm vibrant hair against the cool tone neutral background and foreground adds contrast to the image. The off centre placement of the subject applies the rule of thirds making it a little different from a typical portrait.
2. Flying away from the rain:The stillness of the rain drops in the foreground against the movement in the background both add attention grabbing aspects to the image. The warm tone throughout the image captures a comforting mood into the image that compliments the details of the rain against the glass.
3. Pink garden: This photo was inspired from collages created by David Hockney. This photo uses 15-20 images to create a whole scene. The pink paired with the green compliment each other well to really pop against the drop shadows added to each individual photo. All the images keep the viewers eyes moving throughout the image to capture each detail.
4. Seeing double: This photo was inspired by the work of Duane Michaels, with his B&W double exposure creations. I think the value of the dark to lights to tones was needed for this photo to capture the proper mood and appearance to it. The bright light cutting through the top of the image and the darker lighting at the bottom also contrast each other nicely. Having the subject placed on each side creates a nice balance in the image. I used the subject twice in different poses and placements in the image to pull attention towards different areas and to create more of a scene rather than an image.
5. Feeling blue: I wanted to play around with some portraits by trying out different, colours, textures and moods in the image. The blue tones, paired with the rainfall concept compliment each other by sharing an emotion in the photo. I think even down the the details of how I had my subject placed and looking downwards enhance that feeling that I wanted to capture to help connect the viewer to the photo.
6. Furry friend: The cute puppy portrait carries a playful and happy vibe in the image that a viewer can't resist. The fluffy fur paired with the spikey blades of grass provide multiple textures throughout the image. The way she moves her head upwards and is licking her face provides some movement into the image which I think adds some needed character into the photo.
7. Simplicity at its finest: This portrait had very clean and simple details. The background was kept neutral to not take away from the subject, but the white against the black top still adds a nice contrast. The warm dramatic toned light allows her natural features to shine through to help keep her glowing and the main focus in the image. Keeping the background so simple allows the subject to keep dominance in the photo.
8. City nights: This landscape is captured better in B&W as is enhances the details throughout the buildings and allows the pops of light to stand out. Having a tall building on either sides adds symmetry and balance into the photo keeping the image more structured to pair well with the sharp shapes of the buildings.
9. Game ready: I got to play with some lighting and colour for this photo. I wanted to use red and blue to represent our school colours for this volleyball shoot. The two colours compliment each others nicely and split in the middle of the subject. These colours act as a contrasting balance int he image. The dark background allows the colour to shine through and to focus on the subject more.
10. Stop and smell the roses: This close up of the blooming flower put into a macro setting allows a clearer focus on the details of the petals. the blurred and simplified background also allows the flower to stand out. The bright pink against the green shades compliment each other to really allowing them to pop against one another.
11. Up close and personal: This close up split eye portrait was a little tough to capture while trying to keep a hyper puppy still. The textured fluffy fur beside the smooth natural skin pair nicely together to allow some comparison in the photo. Filling the frame allows the positive space to cover the whole image without any negative space taking away from the photo.
12. Childhood dreams: This silhouette has a very dreamy and almost whimsical like setting to it. The spots of a bokeh effect across the background add some attention the the background to keep the whole image full and take up all space. The lights also help frame the structure of the subject but letting some of her features come through while still keeping it as a silhouette.
13. Sing the night away: This photo has lots of colour happening which is why I love it. The blue is the main colour throughout the image, while there are glances of yellow and pink coming through. There is movement from the lights in the middle ground and movement also coming from the crowd in the foreground.
14. The power of minimalism: This close up of the plant was captured better in B&W because it allows the details in the fern to sharpen and stand out better. The dark simplified background emphasizes the subject. The angle that the leaf is entering the photo uses the rule of thirds as it is off centre and displayed on one side.
15. Spring is here: This little bee provides a main subject to the photo, but also adding some colour and texture. The pop of yellow paired with the pink keeps the photo bright and resembles spring so nicely. The texture if the fuzz on the bee stands out against the smooth background. Blurring the background creates some negative space to keep a clear shot on the details of the bee and the flower.
